At work I have a dual monitor display and on the secondary display I left an
application running that I'd like to check the progress of over the weekend.

From home, I connect to my desktop at work via Remote Desktop, but since I
only see the desktop of my primary display I can't 'get to' the app I left
running. It's in my taskbar, and if I right click I have only the minimise
option (I don't think that it works however because after clicking it then
right clicking again I don't get the restore option).

Does anyone know how I might be able to get access to the app using remote
desktop?

I have no experience with dual monitors but you might look at the /span
switch. Go to "Start -> Run" and type the command...

mstsc /?

....in the command window or this page for details...

Try clicking the progam in the taskbar so that it is the active window
(which you can't see), then press alt-space followed by pressing M - this
should put it into "move" mode - then (assuming your secondary display is
the one on the right) press the left arrow key until the window moves onto
the primary monitor.
